I watched a good part of the game, I skipped some boring parts of the video, but I ended up watching all the content the game has to offer.
This game should be called, spiritually, Super Mario: Star Allies.
Kirby Star Allies suffered from a serious problem: stages that were very similar to each other and very generic, uninspired, without a characteristic that made them unique.
Super Mario Wonder seems to have the same problems, very short and very generic stages with little to offer. Most stages are finished in less than 1 minute.
They are very similar stages, and only the background changes. The arrangement of the blocks is similar, and, at the very least, they don't make the stage unique or unforgettable. Just like Kirby Star Allies.
We know that the reviews will be super favorable as always, and full of exaggerations. So I'm not hurting the game's sales with my humble opinion.
I continue to find Rayman Legends' stages much more unique, bigger, more detailed, with many more secrets to discover, and much, much better done. And it's an old game.
Mario Wonder looks like a mobile game. My impressions, and the usual mario defenders will disagree, as they will always, no matter what, defend the brand.
But it doesn't change my opinion. I will never buy this game.
I'm an experienced player. But children will like it, as it is an easy game, and even small 30-second challenges, which count as a stage, and Nintendo shows as a 5-star challenge, are super simple and easy. Children will like it. Even more so today's children, who are so sensitive to frustration and can never, ever lose.
BLAZING BEAKS (plays like Enter the Gungeon, Rogue like)
CHAOS CODE -NEW SIGN OF CATASTROPHE (a really great AcSys fighting game. Better than Granblue, Melty Blood Type Lumina and DNF Duels....this game deserves more! I play it on Steam and Switch)
Rayman Legends seems to have MUCH more quality and variety than Super Mario Wonder.
In Super Mario Wonder I see ( on these videos, a lot of stages ) that you just need to walk forward and jump and you will pass the stage. And, along the way, seems to have a few relevant things to do (to complete the stage).
In Rayman Legends you have more than 800 characters to save, super hidden among more than 120 completely unique stages (80 - Legends + 40 Origins), with a more complex and elaborate design and much more challenges already in stage-1 .
Furthermore, in Rayman Legends, to do 100% of a stage, you need to collect more than 600 items from the stage. There are many more details.
In Rayman Legends you can also (as Super Mario Wonder) play with 4 players simultaneously, there are several game modes, and you can also compete online, including daily, weekly and monthly challenges, and a series of statistics, like an eternal championship between friends and strangers.
I didn't like the videos about Super Mario Wonder. It looks very generic next to Rayman Legends. And on top of that, it will cost $60, while Rayman Legends, a game with so much content, costs much less.
Each new version of Steam Deck = you will be able to play all your games, from all generations, with higher resolution and quality.
Every new Nintendo = Nintendo wants you to buy the SAME games, with a little extra nonsense here and there, AGAIN, AGAIN and AGAIN.
Steam Deck is the best option.
I have both.
Observation.
Buying games on Steam is heaven. In addition to having 95% of all games available on the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5 and Xbox, as well as exclusive games, the games are MUCH CHEAPER.
They can be played on all current and future systems.
I play my games on Steam:
on my PC
on any TV in my house (as long as the PC is turned on)
On my IPAD Pro (as long as the PC is turned on)
On the Steam Deck, everywhere I go.
And for all future PC, iPad, TV, Steam Deck, I will be able to play my entire historical game collection, with superior quality and paying less.
Nintendo must be starting to pay journalists to put it into the heads of opinion-forming gamers that backwards compatibility is not important.
The end of this story is quite obvious.
Nintendo wants to sell everyone the SAME GAMES, with a little extra nonsense here and there, at full price, AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN, forever.
For me, I end my console buying cycle this generation.
Yes, I'm throwing in the towel.
I have 32 consoles stored here. I had practically all the consoles.
But honestly, I don't want to have consoles anymore.
STEAM won for me.
I have 2 very expensive computers and the Steam Deck. And on Steam, I have and buy games from all generations. It's the greatest backwards compatibility in history, with a historical list of achievements, statistics, all packaged in a modern and beautiful way... with a lot of added value.
This year I bought:
Steam: 58 games
Switch: 6 games (and cheap games, not $60 Nintendo games....I think there is no new Nintendo game i bought this year)
I put much more money on Valve than Nintendo.
I put more money on Microsoft and Game Pass than Nintendo.
From now on, I only intend to invest in Steam and Game Pass.
The only way I can buy a Switch 2 is with backwards compatibility.
If Nintendo starts charging for every game I have on the Switch to be backwards compatible on the Switch 2, or anything that charges $$$ for games I already have, I'm out... and honestly, I'll be out and happy.
@JalapenoSpiceLife If you haven't read what I wrote, I repeat: it doesn't have to be Dark Souls, but it needs to have a sufficient level of challenge to be fun (as Rayman Legends does masterfully).
This Mario Wonders is looking very generic. Clearly to complete the stages, just walk forward and jump....without any challenge. Then, in the middle of the way, there are a lot of unnecessary things to do, to see unnecessary graphic animations, with no relation to "winning the stage".
I miss Super Mario World. EVERYTHING there was to do within a stage in that game was related to finishing the stage. It wasn't this meaningless party of silly things to do for nothing and without any purpose. Mario games were smarter back in the day. But it also makes sense, because that old generation was also smarter.
I don´t like any Mario (adventure) games anymore. Very easy games. Not fun at all. It doesn't have to be Dark Souls, it just needs to have the minimum challenge that still makes it fun for me.
A lot of unnecessary and generic gimmicks to hide that you just need to walk forward and press the jump button, while watching a movie on Netflix, looking at the Switch screen every now and then.
@LadyCharlie But, if employees are idle, why keep 900 unnecessary people hired, charity? Even governments that employ too many public servants overwhelm the public sector.
Solution for you: open your own company.
This was the solution for me. I complained just like you. So I opened my company, understood the other side of the coin, won, and now I'm close to retiring at 42, because if I stop working, I'll still have income for the rest of my life. I'm passing the company on to the best of the employees, and I'm sure he will fire at least 10 people....
and...I don't care about the story. I skip all dialogue in all games. I played Fire Emblem skipping all the dialogue. I have no idea about the story and I don't care. I just like the Chess battles, and nothing else.
@fox_mattcloud $19 indie games have given me more fun than $60 Nintendo games like Metroid Dread, New Mario Bros U Deluxe, Pokken Tournament, Arms,Yoshi’s crafted world, Zelda Link’ s awakening, Mario Tennis Aces, Mario Golf, Mario Strikers, Kirby Star Allies..…and so on…
F1 2023 : I´m having a blast. The "Breaking Point - Part 2" story is just PERFECT.
Guilty Gear Strive : more ranked matches and trying to beat de Last Boss - Stage 9 (secret boss). It´s near impossible...oh God...the most difficult boss in a fighting game i´ve ever seen...It feels like I'm facing Psycho Mantis, Metal Gear Solid, in a fighting game. He knows everything I'm going to do. EVER.
It's harder than the last boss in the classic Eternal Champions 2 Challenge from the Dark Side (Sega CD), on hard mode. And look, the last boss of Eternal Champions 2 needs to be defeated 9 (nine!!) times in a row, in completely different versions, with a single energy bar (and each transformation has a move that kills you in 1 hit)
@Ristar24 Outrun is great! Slipstream has a great design for retro racing game. Horizon Chase has a lot of more content, with 100+ tracks and a lot of game modes, challenges...
Cruis'n is a empty and generic game. Like a $2,99 max game.
My sister came here from the USA. Will be here for 2 weeks. So we'll play her favorites.... there's going to be a lot of people around this weekend, so it's just going to be multiplayer games like:
@GrailUK No, please, Cruis'n Blast is one of the worst racing games in history.
Repeated tracks (with different skins), few tracks, no progression, no artificial intelligence, with random aspects, horrible graphics. It's a game that loses in content and quality to indie racing games that cost $5.
Donkey Kong Tropical Breeze (10 - 25 hours content)
Pokken Tournament (10 - 30 hours content)
Super Mario 3d World (10 - 20 hours content)
and...NOW....
Red Dead Redemption (+DLC) port (100 - 150 hours content) for $50
I don't remember anyone (besides myself) criticizing the price of these Nintendo games. Does Nintendo have "poetic freedom" in this matter? I think it's hypocritical.
I think no port deserve $50 - $60 price tag, whether from Nintendo or any other company, the same.
Diddy Kong Racing (1997)...I´ve never liked this game...
On N64 era...this game was in "slow motion" for me....not fast enough, so much boring game..like 99% of the N64 racing games, including Mario Kart 64.
I really did not like racing games on N64 (except for Xtreme G 1 and F-zero X)...because the speed sensation...low frame rate....and graphic style. N64 was poor.
I played for 10 hours and never played this game again. It's on my list of abandoned games that I didn't enjoy.
In 1999, 2 years after Diddy Kong Racing, I was playing Test Drive Le Mans, Ferrari F355 Challenge, Sega Rally (1998), on Dreamcast. You can't even compare the monstrous difference in quality.
In 1997, I'd rather keep playing Super Mario Kart and Top Gear on the SNES than racing games on the N64.
I also preferred playing on Sega Saturn, Sega Rally 1, Need for Speed, Andretii Racing, Daytona, Tokyo highway battle, so much better quality and fun.

Re: It's Over, Microsoft Has Officially Acquired Activision Blizzard

From now on, every time the media reviews Activision games, we know that the rating is 2 points below reality. So just add 2 more points.
For example, if a website gives a rating of 7, we know it is a 9.
The 7 is just this anti-xbox mechanism, which doesn't mean anything...
